7-eleven has Obama as a clear winner of the elections


 
According to their count of Blue Obama cups and Red Romney cups sold, President Obama is way ahead. I read that this "polling" has been more accurate for the last three elections than the actual polls.

I was really happy looking at the map until it showed Texas as a solid blue. Regardless, it is remarkable that the blue cups are outselling the red ones in such a red state.

Here is a link to the 7-eleven map. It's fun to see who's sold more cups, not only by state, but also by city

here's the link:

9. They have been extremely, eerily accurate for the past two elections

2004 Election

George W. Bush*

7-Election 51%

U.S. Voters 50.7%

John Kerry

7-Election 49%

U.S. Voters 48.3%

2008 Election

John McCain

7-Election 46%

U.S. Voters 45.7%

Barack Obama*

7-Election 52%

U.S. Voters 52.9%

I wonder if any of the official polls was this accurate?

So according to this, Bush didn't steal the 2004 election. You goons sure you wanna say how accurate this is?  :rotf:

Oh well looks like RMoney is toast again!!!!!11111

If I drank soda pop I'd get it in a blue cup. Then drink the bitter tears of the primitives from it on election night.

The jug-eared Kenyan is also winning a poll conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

I can't tell you the last time I saw an actual 7-11.

What is a 7-11? I never seen one. Pennsylvania doesn't have them.

Speaking of which, MAObamaite and part-time entitled-to-free-contraception floozy Sandra Fluke tried to rally Dems at a "Sak-N-Save" in Reno: all of 10 showed up!   :rotf:

Apu's Kwik-E-Mart in The Simpsons was a parody of 7-11's. 

Down south, they've mostly been replaced by branded stores from Mapco and BP.

We are overrun with them.

Up until 15 years ago, we had lots of them in Nebraska.

Since then, they've become extinct in this state.

They're kind of rare in my part Georgia these days.

Speaking of the cup deal, I can't remember the last time I paid any attention to what was on the cup. I was more concerned with what I was putting into the cup.

I think all the 7-11s are either along the interstate or the not very good parts of town in Texas.

I haven't seen a 7-11 since the Reagan administration.

There were eight around me at one time now only two remain. Maybe they are getting phased out. Sorry DUmmies, it's the end for you.

I wonder if 7-11 stores are predominantly in blue hellholes.

I'm sure if you conducted a nationwide poll at check-cashing joints, the muslim would be a landslide winner.

I count ten 7-Elevens around me.  In fact, at one intersection there is a 7-Eleven on TWO of the corners.  We call them 7-Eleven North and 7-Eleven South.  This happened because Mobil & Southland merged something and now what was a Mobil station is now a 7-Eleven, plus we have the existing stores NOT a Mobil station.

I was waiting for you to see this, as I wondered.

In Lincoln, Nebraska, during the 1990s, they started being closed and boarded up.

By the time I came back from the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants, they were all gone.

They're all still boarded up, and it's confusing, because some of these locations are prime commercial spots; I'm guessing they're holding onto the real estate for tax purposes.

There are plenty of old 7-Eleven buildings around that are now either some other business entirely (such as a laundromat) or an individually owned store named something cute like "Whip-In".  7-Eleven is known for building a new up-to-date store across the street from an old store and then closing the old one.

I'm tired tonight.  I hope I am making sense.

Wow, I have a hard time imagining not being near a 7 11. They are everywhere here. Before I moved out to the sticks there four with in 2 miles of me. Now even out here there are two within 5 miles. And I have a feeling there are a few more I just have not gone hunting for them. They do seem to just move when the building gets a little out of date tho. You look at a lot of smaller or even skanky mom and pop businesses around here and you can tell they moved into what used to be a 7 11 in the 70's or 80's.

The ones in Japan seem pretty nice tho. But I have only seen pictures of those.
